Descripción de 13125 Mozart: The 17 Church Sonatas

Mozart composed 17 Church Sonatas between 1772 and 1780. These church sonatas are short single-movement pieces that were performed during a celebration of the Mass between the Epistle and the Gospel. Three of the sonatas include more orchestral scorings including oboes, horns, trumpets and timpani. However, the more common sonatas were scored for 2 violins and a continuo. All the sonatas were commissioned by the Archbishop of Salzburg and were meant to go with specific religious mass settings. Mozart was very important to the Archbishop, so important in fact, that after Mozart left Salzburg, there was a mandate that the congregation sing hymns in place of the church sonata. Thus, the Archbishop did not commission a new composer after the departure of young Mozart. Today, these 17 church sonatas are very often overlooked as not important to the Mozart musical catalog. However, here at Classical Music Discoveries, we would like to differ from the consensus concerning the church sonatas. We will play all 17 sonatas in order of composition, and we hope that our listeners will pay very close attention to these works as they give many hints as to what will come in future compositions by Mozart. We believe that Mozart used these sonatas to explore musical ideas that he would develop and use in future compositions. So, we believe that the Church Sonatas were an important musical sketchbook to Mozart. These sonatas are performed by the CMD Philharmonic of Paris and this recording is available now at ClassicalRecordings.co Purchase now at: http://www.classicalsavings.com/store/p356/Mozart%3A_The_17_Church_Sonatas.html
